The design provides excellent interior thermal, lighting and acoustic performance based on current research in optimized learning environments. The classroom is designed to minimize heat gain, and to use available natural daylight and natural ventilation rather than air-conditioning. Electrical systems are designed for contemporary and future digital teaching expectations, and for performance monitoring of energy consumption and interior environment charted against exterior weather conditions. Monitoring is web-broadcast and formatted as a child-accessible interface allowing students to interactively learn about their immediate environment and contextual sustainability issues. This web-broadcast data is integrated with curricula for various age groups and is publically accessible. As a comprehensive teaching tool, the building design exposes and highlights structural and performance components so that digital data is understood in reference to physical attributes of the construction. Materials, systems and surfaces are designed for healthy air quality and global sustainability. Construction is accomplished in an energy and resource-efficient factory, with a modular design facilitating future re-use on alternate sites, enhancing maximized sustainability throughout the life cycle.
